Every year Walt Disney World also promotes a yearly marathon which attracts over 100,000 participants at all their theme parks. Coupled with the normal everyday crowd this can easily be a logistical nightmare. They ensure success by being proactive and planning up to 18 months in advance. Basically as soon as the marathon is over they immediately start to plan for the following year’s marathon. Sales and marketing alone requires a 6 month window to get to word out to the general public. Coordination also entails working with all theme parks, local state agency as well as organizers and sponsors of the event. The challenge as always is to ensure a safe and memorable experience for participants even when things might not be going well behind the scenes. Bruning, Karla, 2012, January 8) Behind the scenes of runDisney. Washingtontimes.com

I never knew that Walt Disney World ever had a yearly marathon in the area; I assume with running the parks alone there was no real time for that. With everything else going on yes that has to me a nightmare trying to organize this event and others has to have some kind of unique preparations before the races even begin. There are runners from all 50 states and 60 other countries took part in a variety of Disney Marathon Weekend events, such as the Family Fiesta 5K, Kids Races and the Disney Half-Marathon in addition to the Disney Marathon. And once again more than 6,500 runners put themselves to the ultimate test - Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge - by running the half-marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday. But this is Disney World and there is nothing that they can’t do when it comes to keeping customers blissful. Seeing how they maintain their daily activities throughout the theme parks will concur the admiration when it would come to a marathon. Good…...

The seven types of intelligence are: Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, Linguistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, and Intrapersonal Intelligence. This intelligence is also known as The Multiple Intelligence Theory.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence- consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically carry out mathematical operations and investigate issues scientifically. Linguistic Intelligence- it involves sensitivity to spoken and written language. Also it's the ability to learn language to accomplish certain goals. Musical Intelligence-it involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence- entails the potential of using one’s whole body or parts of the body to solve problems. Spatial Intelligence- involves the potential to recognize and use more confined areas. Interpersonal Intelligence- is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations, and desires of other people. Intrapersonal Intelligence- entails the capacity to understand one self, to appreciate one’s feelings, fears, and motivations.

...Howard Schultz is a driven man. Did his childhood help define who he would become and what he became, absolutely. Most entrepreneurs are self -starters, focused, driven and highly motivated, and he was no exception. Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks Corporation used all of those traits to drive Starbucks to be one of the best coffee houses in the United States as well as propelling it globally. Howard Schulz showed considerable initiative and risk taking and with this came success. He had a vision and since he is a successful leader and motivator he was able to motivate his employees to achieve his goal. He seemed to be able give his employees a sense of pride and by doing so, they took pride in selling Starbucks coffee. He allowed them to be involved in the company. What was important to him, became important to his employees. Schultz treated his employees with respect and often referred to them as” partners” giving them a sense that they had a vested interest in the outcome of Starbucks success. Schultz is a natural born leader, and motivator and I believe these two traits helped him become the entrepreneur that he is and will continue to make him successful. Part of Starbucks success came by having control over the quality, service and products they sold. If Starbucks became a franchise it would run the risk of the franchisor’s failing to live up to the company’s standards of service. Not only do failed franchisees threaten the franchise system, but they can...

After being inspected by the credit department of Southern Bank and Trust, Montrose sets out the standard covenants applying to the loan.

What is Earning Management?
Earning management is the process that one firm’s manager presents the finical statement in his favorable way rather the real performance in a certain period.
“Earnings management occurs when managers use judgment in financial reporting and in structuring transactions to alter financial reports to either mislead some stakeholders about the underlying economic performance of the company, or to influence contractual outcomes that depend on reported accounting numbers.” (Healy and Wahlen, Accounting Horizon, 1999)
Earning management is generally happened within the generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) choice, under the GAAP, firms have the flexibility to make their accounting choices and required to do estimations on their finical report. The intention of the “flexibility “is to make finical statements can by more accurately present a firm’s operating result in a certain period, companies have to estimate numbers (such as expense) based on their assumptions for the future, but the problem is that GAAP doesn’t have clear boundary to define what is a normal estimation (legal) and what is an extreme estimation (illegal). Therefore as long as the manager has logically explaining of those assumptions, then their estimation is legal.
By definition, earning is the sum of operating cash flow and non-cash earning (accruals). Thus, if a manager wants to manipulate a firm’s earning,......

Chapter 1: Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress
The beginning chapter covers early Native American civilization in North America and the Bahamas, the genocide and enslavement committed by the crew of Christopher Columbus (to the West Indies), and incidents of violent colonization by early settlers. The native inhabitants, Arawak Indians, swam out to greet the European boats the first time they landed. Zinn cites Columbus' journal entries throughout the chapters, which included his reaction to the initial encounter with the Arawaks: 'They would make fine servants...With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.' This attitude ultimately led to enslavement, highjacking, murder and rape. Why did they murder thousands to millions of innocent Native Americans? The Spaniard's main aim was to prove to the royalty back home that the islands were wealthy and loaded with great resources, mainly gold. Columbus took some natives back to show the Queen of Spain (they died on route), and when he came back with numbers of men and ships, they started a regimented system of slavery and punishment on the natives of the West Indies. When looking at historical documents of this event, they all had one thing in common. They only speak of the friendliness of the Arawaks, of their genuine kindness and great hospitality. They saw the Spaniards as divine beings, meaning they would never do harm or, let......

Howard Zinn: Civil Rights
Howard Zinn was an American historian, playwright, and social activist. He sometimes referred to himself as a Democratic Socialist. In Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States his main concern was that while the government made civil rights reforms they predominantly did so not out of human interest, but out of a need to reform their international image. Zinn further addresses that in-large part the United States government failed to enforce these new civil rights reforms.
With the events of the Civil Rights Movement, Zinn demonstrates the United States duplicity as early as the 1930s. In Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States he notes that while the nation denounced racism, it nevertheless “maintained segregation in the armed forces and kept blacks in low-paying jobs” (chapter 17). I think Zinn also goes to state in his book that the as the United States failed to adequately provide solutions to the race question, African Americans became increasingly aligned with Communist movements. With the volatile political climate of the late 1940s – the country had just survived World War II – it was essential that the nation demonstrate internationally that it was making a substantial stand against Communism. Zinn argues this started with African American ties to Communism. It follows that the United States government’s original motivation for......

...Leadership Paper: Howard Schultz
You can get a sense of what’s important to someone by the stories they tell. And Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks and inspirational leader, tells a great story. He uses stories to establish an emotional connection with people and to inspire them to share his passion and vision. In his book titled, Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul, Schultz writes, “…Listen with empathy and over-communicate with transparency. Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation.” (Schultz & Gordon, Pg. 309, 2011)
Values and a passionate belief are what drive leaders like Schultz. One way to inject that passion into a business is to tell a “creation-of-the-enterprise story.” (Dubrin, 2013) This type of story inspires people to rally around a cause that they feel, will “make the world a better place!” For example, Schultz tells a story that began in 1961, when his father broke his ankle at work and was left without income, insurance or any way to support his family. The family’s suffering and fear inspired change and Schultz grew up driven to create a company in which employees have a safety net woven of respect and dignity. (Durbin, 2013) And when confronted by angry shareholders to end the company’s health care benefits to boost stock prices; Schultz vehemently declined and then used this personal story to boost morale and inspire......

As Schultz made his way through the company he noticed they were selling more to a company in Seattle. So, Schultz went to Seattle to see whom they were selling to and once when he walked through the doors of Starbucks he knew he needed to work there, Schultz he said “I can’t explain it. But I knew I was in a special place, and the product kind of spoke to me.” Drawn to Seattle and its extraordinary coffee culture, Howard moved from his native New York and joined Starbucks, in 1982, as director of operations and marketing when Starbucks had only four stores.

...1. How well is Jones Electrical Distribution performing? What must Jones do well to succeed?
Jones Electrical is performing well. The company is not a smaller company that had a net income of around $30,000 with net sales of around $2.4 million. Although the company is not to large they have continued to have growth year after year.
Recent forecasts show sales might begin to slow down. The success of the company will depend on doing what the company is doing currently since they have continued to grow. Selling electrical devices is an extremely competitive market. The company has been able to build up high sales volume through cheaper pricing than its competitors and through a strong sales force. The company has also been able to keep prices down by maintaining a strict budget with tight control over operating expenses, including paying its sales team on commission and keeping overhead low.
Financing is another key in a business and is a large factor that will determine the success of Jones Electrical is their financing. Jones Electrical needs to take out larger loans in order to build up inventory and increase sales. Also by taking loans the company is able to take advantage of the 2% purchase discounts that its manufacturers provide. The company’s financials show that with an increase in its line of credit the more sales it has, resulting in growth and a higher net income.
2. Why does a business that has a profit of $30,000 per year need a bank......

...Howard Gardner's Theory on the Learning Process
In 1983, Doctor Howard Gardner developed a theory of multiple intelligences (MI). Dr. Gardner was a professor and a psychologist of neuroscience from Harvard University. His theory questioned the current beliefs in the fields of cognitive science and education. In the past intelligence was measured by series of multiple short answer tests. Gardner's theory introduced intelligence broke down in seven different categories. The seven multiple intelligences include Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Musical Rhythmic, Bodily/ Kinesthetic, Spatial, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. Each different intelligence has a unique set of qualities. Linguistic is the capacity to use language, being able to express yourself and your mind. Logical/Mathematical is the intelligence in which one has a strong ability to use principles to reach a conclusion when solving problems. This type of intelligence would have the ability to manipulate numbers and quantities the same way you would in math. Musical Rhythmic intelligence is the ability to thoroughly think through music, sounds, rhythms and beats. Bodily/kinesthetic intelligence is when you are able to use your multiple body parts to solve a problem, such as playing sports, acting in plays, dancing, etc. Spatial intelligence is in which you can grasp the universe within your mind, when you can see the world that is not in front of you. Arts and sciences are where you will see this intelligence......

...“A People’s History of the United States” By: Howard Zinn
CHAPTER 1:
1. The purpose of Zinn writing the book was to tell history from a perspective not from governments, conquerors, diplomat leaders etc. but from the common people such as slaves and Native Americans. He does that so we can “see” history through their eyes. Zinn wants to get us in a deeper level in history where we get the whole story and aspects.
2. Native Americans had a culture where they were very independent and treated each other equally and believed in sharing. They depended on natural environment, didn’t wear clothes or have a religion.
The Europeans lived in a society of rich and poor, which they are controlled by priests, governors, and male heads of families. They are Christian and are very religious. They all want to wealthy.
When the Native Americans met the Europeans, they welcomed them with gifts and hospitality. When the Europeans met the Natives, they took advantage of them so they can find what they are looking for. Overall, the Europeans saw the natives as savages and thought they needed less so they overpowered them. That caused the Natives to try to run away but they would be captured and killed, making the numbers of Native Americans to drop greatly.
3. The “Communities” that are identified are the Spaniards, English, and Native Americans. They all share the common interest of Trading, whether it is Knowledge or goods. The Spaniards and English had a common interest of......
